Hi,
I have got a new Gigabyte GA-7N400 PRO motherboard and I have also got an Athlon XP 2800 Barton Core from my other machine. The problem is whenever I place this CPU into the motherboard the machine will power up for about 10 seconds then just switch it self off. This happens regardless of if there is any RAM or a graphics card in there. If I put in a lesser CPU like my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz the machione boots fine. Will a BIOS upgrade crack it? Please can someone help.
Cheers
